Coroner for Swansea

Cadle Heath Local Nature Reserve in Swansea is recognized as one of the finest examples of urban heath in the UK, encompassing a diverse 11.5 hectares of wet heath, species-rich grassland, ponds, scrub, and woodland. The reserve is vital for conservation, hosting a variety of wildlife, including butterflies, frogs, and a notable colony of wood bitter vetch, which is found in only two locations in West Glamorgan.

The reserve is also home to a rich bird population, with a comprehensive survey recording 31 species in 1995, including skylarks, stonechats, and the marsh fritillary butterfly. Cadle Heath serves not only as a sanctuary for numerous plants and animals but also as a crucial site for biodiversity in the region.
